CSC has commissioned a new software repositiory http://repo.iitd.ac.in designed and executed by Phani Mahesh. The repository has the advantage that it uses a caching proxy to cache only those software packages that are needed by users from time to time, rather than mirroring whole sites like Ubuntu, Centos, Debian or Gentoo. With this new architecture we have been able to provide links for more than just software. The style of presentation is also different from the usual CSC style of web-pages.
